Kristie Kuwa Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago (edited) I really have to laugh when reading comments such as "good that Bey is #1, now she receives all the hate from the GP". Its not like the internet weirdos dont take up any chance to drag her and defame her. We literally been knew and dont care. You can tell these kiddos dont know what true backlash looks like Edited 3 hours ago by Kristie Kuwa 4

Quote This performance in her hometown of Houston, Texas will be the first live performance of songs from her genre-bending and record-breaking Cowboy Carter album.
Cbreezy Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Eating humble pie af atm re Bey x Drake. As Chart Hive, I remember being so vocal on here about Bey needing to "team up" with established streaming monsters like him to ease into the streaming era in that gap between the underperforming Gift project and B7 (which could be argued was make or break for her present-day power). At the time, both commercially and culturally, it seemed like "more Bey and Drake" was a no-brainer and I internally was always jarred that it had been limited to Mine and seemed to be semi-off the table because of rumored tension between Jay/Drake. Now, it's more than clear that the Carters just get "it" and are playing chess not checkers. As Chart Hive, I definitely still believe that it's vital to play the game and make strategic alliances for commercial gain (which is exactly what Miley, Post Malone etc were to CC), BUT...sometimes keeping a measured distance from others (like Drake) pays off. He objectively looks crazy atm and is going out corny, sad, and pressed. And in hindsight, his output has been wack for a long while. Even before the Kendrick drama, his whole attempt at the Dance album (which I've always felt was a subtle attempt at one-upping Bey as industry types would have known she was working on a Dance record) was wack and indicative that they just vibrate on different levels of quality artistically. Put simply, this is a long and verbose way of saying I'm so glad Bey didn't hitch her ride to him in any way. So glad. Moral of the story? Savvy moves/pairings ARE a must, but the obvious route isn't always the right route.

Total conjecture, but starting to get more and more of a hunch that there will be some kind of pre-taped/cinematic elements to the performance. Monkeypaw literally do film and TV shows and don't have a footprint or any activity in the live space. So, either something pre-taped will be essential to the performance (think tour-like interludes that end up being immersive and incorporated into the performance itself) or maybe there's something Monkeypaw is involved in related to the Halftime that isn't Halftime itself (a doc or short film)?

Its gonna be a day to celebrate when memes such as "us in school thinking we were fly" with corny Cruel Summer music as the background music.

The beauty of stanning Bey is no matter the **** they throw at her, theres ALWAYS something great balancing the negativity out, such as Diva ironically reaching peaks right in this moment and her being announced as the greatest popstar of the 21st century. Beyonce ALWAYS comes out on top

I think if this is anything but a (at least partially) live show, there will be some backlash, and a deserved one at that If it's gonna be pre-taped then fine, but that should be announced beforehand. Many of the mistakes that have been made in the past couple of years has been the vagueness in terms of what audiences should expect. It's better to clarify to consumers what they're getting in advance so they don't end up with a feeling of disappointment, that can really drive them away over time 1
